| Sumario: | This book explores the complicated relationships between domestic servants and their masters through close readings of such literary and non-literary eighteenth-century texts. Kristina Straub argues that many modern assumptions about sexuality and gender identity have their roots in these affective relationships of the eighteenth-century family. By analysing a range of popular and literary works - from plays and novels to newspapers and conduct manuals. Straub uncovers the economic, social, and erotic dynamics that influenced the development of these modern identities and ideologies. Highlighting themes important in eighteenth-century studies - gender and sexuality, class, labour, and markets, family relationships and violence. |
